set.seed(100)
d <- diamonds[sample(nrow(diamonds), 1000), ]
plot_ly(d, x = ~carat, y = ~price, color = ~carat,
        size = ~carat, text = ~paste("Clarity: ", clarity))

## No trace type specified:
##   Based on info supplied, a 'scatter' trace seems appropriate.

Make a ggplot object from scratch:

library(ggplot2)
library(viridis)
my_plot <- ggplot(diamonds, 
       aes(x = carat, y = price, color = color)) + 
    scale_color_viridis(discrete = TRUE) + 
    geom_point() + 
    facet_grid(cut ~ clarity) + 
    theme_bw()
print(my_plot)

Send the ggplot object into plotly:

ggplotly(my_plot)
